Abstract(s)
Assessment can be a crucial component in the teaching and learning process and should measure or
certify results. Online assessment means using the technology to provide assessment which can be
diagnostic, formative or summative and can be considered a valuable tool in higher education as it allows
teachers, on one hand, to have quick access to students’ performance and, on the other hand, students
can receive instant and individual feedback, which helps them to structure their own learning path.
There are many different ways to efficiently assess students’ learning online, the purpose of this paper
is to introduce some online assessment tools and techniques that can be used in education to assess
student performance using technology. In general, learning management systems, such as Moodle, use
online assessment tools, some of which will be presented, based on the corresponding learning
requirements and objectives. Several online assessment techniques, that undeniably support training,
engage students, and provide instructors with perception of their students' learning process, will also be
analyzed. Furthermore, several tools and techniques related to mathematics will be presented, like for
instance STACK (System for Teaching and Assessment using a Computer Algebra Kernel) and iSpring
Suite 9. STACK, an online assessment package for mathematics, is an open-source system that
supports the development of sophisticated and challenging assessments for STEM subjects, enabling
the direct and systematized feedback delivery to help students improve their performance and
understanding. The iSpring Suite 9, a fully e-learning toolkit, with a Math equation editor which allows
the development of interactive assessments and quizzes for e-Courses. Some advantages and
disadvantages about the online assessment process will be also presented.
